I'm a christian mystic or christo-wiccan depends on where you are from. I have some questions because i was introduced to and began learning voodoo. until recently i did not pursue it because of other spiritual obligations, but as of late i feel that Shango and Papa Legba have been reaching out to me. i endured a great suffering 3 years ago that i dont want to mention in text, but i believe this was part of the greater plan to develop my character and self control. Im looking for well informed advice on rituals, symbols, and offerings for them. I know normally Papa is the first Loa people interact with but my teacher used to tell me i was betwixt Shango and big D? any advice or information would be greatly appreciated thank you for your time.

to be completely honest, I know nothing about voudoo, but there is a coven on this site called black cross which does, so I recommend that you mail them or if you aren't a part of a coven yet, join them.

Shango is not related to Vodou. Shango is an Orisha. They are not the same. Papa Legba, being the gate keeper, is the first Lwa you will contact because he holds the keys and allows contact with the other Lwa.
